Les Maîtresses

In this intimate French one-shot from Éditions de l'éveil, Xavier Duvet's art explores the hidden lives of mistresses, examining the emotional and societal weight of their roles. Published in 2011, the single issue offers a quiet, character-driven portrait rather than a scandalous exposé, focusing on the personal cost of forbidden relationships. Duvet's delicate linework brings nuance to a subject often treated sensationally, making this a thoughtful, understated entry in European adult comics.
